I'm with uvfragm and chaosbryn on that one. A Regulus built for attack speed and life leech gets a lot more advantage from the ability boosts. That and his AoE attack makes him a monster during mid-game (lvl 10+, 15-20k gold)... usually a lot faster then most other demigod, except a UB that goes for the same build.
I play as Regulus and the best tactic at the start of the game I've seen from a UB player against me, so far, is to harass with spit. Go in, spit, get out. Repeat after your spit timer has finished resetting. The only viable counter to that would be to snipe and try to get in a few shot while you advance to spit, but most of the time I end up having to back up before the UB does. Unless there's a third demigod joining in on the action, usually UB will end up pushing back Regulus as
